Synopsis

Keywords: Liver, CancerHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is viewed as the most frequent primary liver cancer and the third cause of cancer related death worldwide [1]. The 5-year overall survival rate is only 30–40% after surgical resection and 70% of patients have a tumor recurrence within 5 years [2]. we evaluated the discrimination power of Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging for predicting two-year early recurrence (ER) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative resection.Our resuts showed that DKI-based quantitative parameters might have acertain value inpredicting two-year early recurrence (ER) in HCC.
